Is this headset too big for me to wear outside? (non gamer question)

Asked by cutiepi92 (2252points) December 15th, 2014

Soooo I told my boyfriend I needed some over the ear headphones a long time ago. I was going to save up to buy them myself, but I found out he bought me some for Christmas. I was really happy, but then I realized what he bought was a gaming headset – not just headphones. He said he was looking for something that was made for long wear and were very comfortable, wireless, and have good sound quality for $150 or under. So he got these:

He also wanted to get me something I can use when we play games together too (since I have a ps4). I think the gift is lovely and super thoughtful. It definitely seems like he did his research.

My only concern is that I’m worried if they’ll look goofy if I use them outside; I mean they ARE a gaming headset and they seem a bit clunky at least for a female to wear: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/32V2rL3rpsg/0.jpg

Do you think these are wearable enough to wear outside of gaming or should I still save up to buy some other earphones? I am not a heavy gamer, so I kinda want something that’ll be used for non gaming purposes. I really want to use them, they seem cool and I like the design, but I don’t want to LOOK like I’m using a gaming headset when I’m listening to music on the subway or at work.

I don’t own any over the ear headphones, so for all I know they all seem clunky to me lol. Just wanted outside opinions :)
